Montreal has decided to go ahead with the screening in spite
of recent events and even though another film about two suicide
bombers was pulled from the Cambridge Film Festival because of
the July 7 attacks.

But the film's distributor, Inspired Movies, is full of praise
for the film and the sensitive way in which it deals with its
subject matter.

Its website states: Like Dog Day Afternoon, Red Mercury explores
the shifting dynamics of the relationship between the three young
Muslims, as well as those between the restaurant customers - who
include Stockard Channing and Ron Silver from hit TV series, The
West Wing - and between the terrorists and the diners.

"The film follows the relationships that form between the
three boys and their hostages, as well the intelligence operation
taking place outside."
